SQUIB ROD Reviews & Ratings

Don't let a stuck bullet from a 'squib' or weak load cut short a shooting session. Far superior to other rods or makeshift punches, this non-marring brass rod fits the bore closely, can't wedge between bullet nose and rifling. Each rod is drilled and tapped to thread onto a Dewey cleaning rod; very handy for knocking stuck bullets out of rifle barrels.

SPECS:

Kit contains one of each size rod and (2) 8-32 to 12-28 adapters. 8' (20.3cm) long.
Brass. Pak has 2 rods of size listed and 2 Dewey 30A rod adapters.

This is the third set of .40 squib rods that will not work. They will just fit down a Glock barrel but will not fit down a .40 S&W M/P barrel (tried it in multiple different pistols). If you really want them, plan on turning them down yourself to a diameter that works in your pistol.

Too big.

I returned a set that were too big to go down the barrel with a comment on the appropriate diameter. The replacement set is also too big. In order to fit easily down the barrel they should be .385, plus or minus. .389 is apparently the absolute max diameter to fit inside the rifling. The first set was .392. The second set was .390. Somebody's tolerances are not being checked.

Can't fit a 40SW barrel

It is too tight and can't fit any of my 40SW STI barrels.
